Former Princeton great Bill Bradley has announced his presidential endorsement.
Princeton recruit Zane Ma scored six points in his first game back since a knee injury. Ignore what the author says about Ma's collegiate destination. I've confirmed with the writer that this was a mistake on their part and that Ma is still coming to Princeton.
Georgetown travels to DePaul this evening. Rebounding continues to be an area of concern for the Hoyas.
When Lehigh's Zahir Carrington scored in the paint with 16:17 remaining in regulation, he increased his impressive point total to 24.
Single-handedly matching Princeton on the scoreboard.
The Tigers fell for a program-worst 11th consecutive time on Sunday - laboring to put the ball in the basket and unable to stop their opponent in a 68-49 loss to the Mountain Hawks.
Carrington finished with a career-high 27. Rob Keefer had 16 off the bench, 14 in the first half.
Nick Lake and Kareem Maddox both recorded a team-best eight points for the Tigers.
Northwestern travels to Ohio State this afternoon.
Around the Ivy League: Harvard (5-11/1-0) opened the Ivy League schedule with a 82-56 victory over Dartmouth (5-8/0-1). Penn (5-9) picked up a 79-68 win over NJIT. Yale (4-8) was tripped up at Hartford, 73-70.
Holding an opponent to a paltry 31.1% from the field and limiting them to 46 total points over the course of an afternoon can be enough to please a basketball coach.
Not Georgetown's John Thompson III.
"I'm not happy with our defensive effort" explained the Hoyas' head man after his team opened their Big East schedule with a turgid victory over Rutgers. We allowed them to get a few things that we did now want then them to get and how they got them."

The two also previewed Princeton's final two non-conference games before the Tigers' exam break. This interview is 11:00+ in length.

princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
